Who are the Muslims, and the JEWS from?

Question

Are the MUSLIMS the OFFSPRING of ISHMAEL, Son borne to HAGGAI, SARAI'S servant, whom she told ABRAM/ ABRAHAM to sleep with as she was unable to give him a child...
Then too are the JEWS the OFFSPRING of ISSAC, who was borne to SARAI/ SARAH when she was 100 yrs. old ...ABRAHAM being the FATHER of ISSAC.
Is this the two great NATIONS, the MUSLIMS and THE JEWS, or not?
and who of these two will be truly BLESSED, by GOD?
Am I on the right track here, or just totally off my rocker?

Answer 1

Abraham Is the father to both Issac and Ishmael,Abraham did not wait on the Lord and slept with Haggai and her son was Ishmael,Sarah gave birth to Issac and Issac was the son God promised Abraham and Sarah.

God promised Haggai that he would be bleesed and he was blessed as God Is faithfull.

Jesus Christ came form the Hebrews and he Is our blessing and all that call upon his name will be delivered and saved.

I hope this answers your question

Answer 2

Abraham is the father of both religions.He had a son from sarah who was called Isaac , and a son from Hagar who was called Ishmael. Both sons went in different ways . What is more bitter than sibling rivalry that lasts for generations?
I dont expect an answer.

Answer 3

Every person born is a direct offspring of Adam and Eve. Then after the flood of Noah's day they all came from Noah and his 3 sons. His 3 sons were all different colors.....Ham was a swarthy dark man....Shem was the white and Japeth the red or oriental.
Every man on earth knew to worship One True God Jehovah. There was in time a law covenant to adhere to strictly . There were eventually the 10 commandments. God was constanly revising and fine tuning his rules for mankind.

We are still all under obligation to worship One True God. We all have the chance to be blessed by God and recieving everlasting life under the Messianic covenant.

Jesus died for us....Thank God for that ransom and live accordingly..Get along..Love one another..And Live forever

Answer 4

islam has absolutly nothing to do with Abraham or The God of Abraham... There were, and probably still are, decendents of ishmael around... but muslims are followeers of islam... and islam has absolutly nothing to do with The One True God...via ishamel or any other route...IMO(in my opinion) islam is the greatest evil facing the world today


The Nation of Israel (all of the Jews) are decndents of Abraham and are God's Chosen People. Todays political state of Israel is not The Nation of Israel chosen by God... When The Nation of Israel reclaims the land promised to Abraham, Christ will come in the air to call His Church to Him... and the events of the end times will have begun.

Answer 5

you're kind of 'on the track :)
you're right that half of arabs are offspring of Ishmael (the other half are offspring of Yarub ben Qahtan), and all hebrews are offspring of Isaac.

your other question: "who of these two will be truly BLESSED, by GOD?"

Surely, those who believe, and those who are the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, - whosoever believed in Allah and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Quran 5:69)

Answer 6

Muslims are the offspring of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Jews should be from the Prophet Abraham (A.S) but because the Prophet Abraham (A.S) and the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) we're cousins, we are considered the two great nations...

Answer 7

told Abraham to "sleep" ???!!! so are you saying that Abraham committed ADULTERY?!!!!

wow, i didn't know that Christians can easily insult a prophet of God . but i guess it's all in the bible isn't it?!!

yes Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) is from the linage of Ishmael (pbuh) the LEGITIMATE son of Abraham (pbuh).

Answer 8

Islam recognizes no man-made artificial distinctions based on color, tribe, race, nationality, or otherwise. As all people come from the original couple-Adam and Eve-they are all one family and therefore equal before God

. What distinguishes people from each other is their commitment to Islam: "The most honored in the sight of Allah is (he who is) most righteous." (Qur'an 3:86).


The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 9

The Jews are the chosen people of the one true God under the old covenant.

The Muslims are the result of the invention of allah by Muhammed.

Two totally different groups of people. Not related in any way.
